April 28: Baby pines

[neverspent]

Continuing with my try-to-raise-any-tree-that-volunteers-on-my-balcony- efforts, I have a new tiny pine seedling this year. It's about an inch high and so cute.



Last year's seedlings, which really should have been repotted sooner, are eight inches or so high. I know not all of the baby trees I raise will make it to adulthood, but you have to grow a lot of them so some of them will survive.

That's cute! :)

:) I admit, when hundreds of tiny elm seedlings sprout in my pots, I do not save all of them. But I did choose four elms last year and they're still doing well! I feel bad turning them down when they show up and want to grow.
